Sunglasses are key for being in a car or outside, get polarized ones. I wear my sunglasses every time I step out the door and I live in New England. They\u2019re on rain, snow, and sun. Good polarized ones make a huge difference (Maui Jim is my favorite, I\u2019ve had the same pair for 10 years). If you need to wear your sunglasses in the house, do it. I keep the lights in my house off as long as I can, only turning them on when it\u2019s pitch black and half the time the light from nearby houses is enough. Natural light seems to be the best for me and even then I have sheer curtains on all of my windows to help dim them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Further Reading<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cABSTRACT: IMPROVEMENT WITH POSTURAL ORTHOSTATIC TACHYCARDIA SYNDROME, HEADACHES AND LIGHT SENSITIVITY IN A PATIENT WITH POST CONCUSSION SYNDROME FOLLOWING A PROGRAM OF MULTIMODAL VESTIBULAR &#8230;\u201d <em>Frontiers<\/em>, 7 September 2016, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/10.3389\/conf.fneur.2016.59.00056\/event_abstract\">https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/10.3389\/conf.fneur.2016.59.00056\/event_abstract<\/a>.
